Army remedial driver training program

By Angela Welch, U. Private motor vehicle PMV mishaps remain the greatest killer of Soldiers. According to U. Students must wear a long sleeve shirt, long legged durable pants, over the ankle boots, full-fingered gloves, and eye protection. Civilians, retirees, spouses, or dependents may not attend the course. If you have a BRC card, you will need to take the one day experience rider course for cruiser type motorcycles or the military sports bike rider course for sports type motorcycles.

Remedial driver's training is a course for active duty service members who have been command-referred by their unit or need to renew their driving privileges on-post. The privilege of driving on Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield is subject to either administrative suspension or revocation for cause by the Installation Commander.

Suspension or revocation of installation driving privileges may occur if a person accumulates assessed points in excess of the amounts indicated in AR , Chapter 5. Privileges will be suspended for up to 60 months for driving while license is suspended or revoked.

Discover PMV RDT uses the small group interactive training concept and is behavioral based. The training combines instruction, skits, games, videos, student-instructor interaction and student to student interaction to help drivers acknowledge their negative driving habits and attitudes. According to Michael Schwarz, Installation Management Command-Europe safety chief, Army safety officials are streamlining driving safety training to eliminate redundant training and to provide a more robust standardized Army-wide driver safety training program.

The change calls for driver safety training to focus efforts on a more efficient and comprehensive training collection while doing away with advanced and supervisors courses.
